Personal computer (often called PC) is a small machinery and can be used by one person. Today personal computers are also as familiar as TV sets and pens. This is amazing when you think that the first personal computer wasn’t available until 1971.

 Before personal computers were developed, all computers were mainframes. Mainframes are large and expensive and were only used by big organizations. Personal computers became popular because they were small and cost less than one percent of the price of a mainframe.

 Since the mid. 1980s, personal computers have become even smaller and even cheaper, as well much more powerful.
